January 11, 2009 Burundi Travel Warning

The U.S. Department of State warns U.S. citizens of the risks of travel to Burundi and continues to caution Americans against non-essential travel outside the capital, Bujumbura. The U.S. Embassy restricts the travel of its personnel in Burundi, and certain areas of Bujumbura are off-limits to U.S. government personnel. This replaces the Travel Warning for Burundi dated April 22, 2008 to provide information concerning the failure of government and rebel forces to implement a cease-fire agreement, and revised information on security restrictions for Embassy personnel.
Burundi was plagued by a civil war from 1993 to 2006 that often involved non-governmental and non-combatant targets.

In September 2006, the government and the last rebel group not party to peace accords, the PALIPEHUTU–FNL (FNL), signed a cease-fire agreement. However, many of the cease-fire provisions have not been implemented.
